Hi everyone,

I have completed 5 years Bachelor in Architecture and want to get Engineer visa. IS it possible I can get "Architect Engineer" visa (مهندس معماري) based on this degree even its not Engineering degree?

Appreciate your earliest response.

I willl let others with more knowledge in this field comment but as far as I know, Saudi council is very particular with it's definition of an engineering degree.

What is the benefit of Engineer's visa and SCE membership anyway?

@LittleBugger Every engineering / diploma / technical field related person is required to register with SEC if they wish to do job in thiese field. If you are not register with SEC, you can't have these profession on your Iqama, and if your Iqama profession not related to your job, you can't do job at all.

@hammadraza001 Thanks. So could the title be a "Project Manager" and the person could work in an Engineering Company as a Construction Manager? Or the person must have an Engineer title in his profession?

I have received the membership but now I am being asked to get QVP as work visa requires both of these memberships.

@LittleBugger In your case, "Project manager" title is enough
